Eligibility:
IncuArts Gallery invites artists to submit work for the upcoming show, Hindsight, 2020 Was A....
For many 2020 was a year like no other. A global pandemic hit, wildfires swept through large portions of countries while hurricanes and storms flooded others, people died, lives were put on hold, jobs were lost, economies were in crisis, schools closed, major elections took place, and more. What did 2020 look like for you? How did it feel? How did you respond? How has this year shaped you, your life, and your practice? At IncuArts we ask, “What happened?”
HINDSIGHT, 2020 WAS A is a look back on the year 2020, at what happened and what it meant to us.
Each artwork will be considered based upon the merit of individual images submitted by each artist.
